Summary
Euijoo should have known that moving into an old, slightly decrepit rooftop apartment in the back streets of Hyehwa could have led him to moving in with a ghost, but he really didn't think about it. It's rare enough after all, and he's lived in plenty of older places while growing up that weren't haunted, so he thought he was safe. It didn't even cross his mind.
Which is why, of course, he moves in with a ghost.

Summary
Byun Euijoo is that boy.
School captain. Top of the class. Perfect grades. Perfect future. The kind of person who has his entire life planned down to the minute.
Except... he's kind of losing it internally.
Because every time something annoys him (which is often), he writes unhinged, brutally honest emails he never sends.
Everything is fine... until those emails don't stay in the drafts anymore.

Summary
Euijoo meets Nicholas in a bar on Manhattan Beach Pier during the 2021 International Surf Festival. Nicholas is lean, blonde, bounces off the walls and laughs loud. His voice is deeper than it should be and he’s got little to no game, but Euijoo sticks around anyway. Nicholas is built and he’s hot, his shirt tight across his shoulders, his hair wild around his ears. He’s bright like sunshine and his lips are sinful when they wrap around the neck of a beer bottle or the rim of a glass of coke.
Nicholas doesn’t live too far from the pier; they walk side by side on the beach, talking about LA. Euijoo’s accent seems to stick to the roof of his mouth, and he pushes his hands in the pockets of his boardshorts to keep himself from reaching out, feeling Nicholas’s pulse at his wrist, seeing if it beats as fast as he talks. Nicholas takes his sandals off, toes digging in the sand.
Nicholas says, suddenly, cutting through the random topics they’re fleeting on, “I don’t really do this,” which seems like a lie until he adds, “With guys, I mean.”
To love is to change. Euijoo and Nicholas change each other, over the course of 5 summers.

Summary
The gods tie a thread around your smallest finger before you are born. That thread is red, the color of blood, of passion, of the cord that binds a child to its mother. Its other end is tied to your soulmate—somewhere in the world, someone whose thread is knotted to yours. You cannot see it. You cannot feel it. Only when your soulmate speaks your true name for the first time, the string vibrates like a plucked harp string, and the sound it makes is the sound of your own heartbeat, heard from outside your body for the first time.
But in the eyes of the Church, a string tied by pagan gods is no string at all. It is a temptation. A pretty lie whispered by the devil to lead good vulnerable boys into the dark.
In the dark, it holds the only place two boys can love.

Summary
Nicholas forces himself to look down at his lap. Vertigo hits him quick and hard. His hands are—not his hands. They’re thin, tapered, a couple shades darker. He blinks a few times. His brain tells them to move and then they do. No delay. He looks at them, clenching and relaxing: bone, muscle, sinew, tendon, skin. All under his control.
These are Euijoo’s hands. They shake a little. He has to swallow a scream.
On the first day of summer, Nicholas wakes up inside Euijoo's body.

Summary
Euijoo has been warned about boys like Nicho since he was old enough to say "Amen.”
He's been told that some people are born broken. That evil has a way of seeping into you if you let it. That temptation always wears a pretty face.
But temptation, Euijoo thinks, doesn't usually have blood on its knuckles and a cigarette between its lips.

Summary
There are eleven items in total on Sungho’s list. The actual contents are a bit absurd.
Go on a Blind Date. Go Skinny Dipping. Learn to Drive. Kiss a Stranger. (Yes, an actual stranger!!!)
“I’m not doing this stuff, Sungho,” Euijoo says. “Where would I even find someone to go on a blind date with?”
(OR: Euijoo doesn't know who he is without his best friend. Nicholas helps him figure it out.)

Summary
There is a particularly memorable Saturday when Euijoo walks into the room and sees Nicholas texting on his phone and wearing a plaid skirt, his legs bare underneath.
“Um,” Euijoo says, trying not to swallow his tongue. “Are you going out?”
“Oh,” Nicholas says. He runs a hand through his hair. “No. I’m just really behind on laundry, actually.”
Oh, so Nicholas is wearing that to do laundry. That’s… cool. Euijoo doesn’t have an opinion on this at all, mostly because his brain is lagging like it’s on one bar of wifi. He wants to say that Nicholas looks nice, but instead just gives him a thumbs up. Euijoo quietly gets his laptop out of his backpack and considers dropping out of school.
[In freshman year of university, Euijoo and Nicholas are assigned to be roommates.]

“Hello?” The sailor says again, head tilting in curiosity as he seemingly picks Euijoo apart, bit by bit.
It’s an all-encompassing feeling—something Euijoo never thought he’d feel again—
“You can see me?”
—to be seen.
“Of course. Why wouldn’t I?”
They meet as a sailor and a lighthouse keeper. The sea always promises more.

Summary
“I think the kids might be a little… you know… scared of him.”
Fuma raised an eyebrow. “Which ones?”
Euijoo froze. “...I’m sorry?”
“Which kids do you think are scared of Nicholas? Did any of them mention something to you?”
“It’s not that they mentioned anything per se.”
“Are any of them acting differently around him?”
“Well… no.”
Fuma blinked a few times, waiting for Euijoo to elaborate or offer up some sort of actual explanation then. He didn’t – just stood there with his arms crossed too tightly across his chest to be casual, one of his hike-worn sneakers thumping an offbeat rhythm against the wooden floor.
Fuma’s eyebrows pulled together slowly. “Then I don’t follow.”
“Fine, it’s me, okay? He scares me.”

Summary
In the wake of being asked to give a speech at Euijoo’s wedding, who Nicholas hasn’t seen in three years, he’s pulled into all of the memories that have brought them this far– their awkward first encounter in high school, their charged university years– and everything that follows.

Summary
'I just mean,' Nicholas starts, then looks away like he’s nervous. He has this badly disguised, kicked-kitten expression that Euijoo remembers from when they were younger, when he used to think to himself, I can’t believe there are people scared of him at school. 'All those years alone? So lonely, Juju! Not even any flings—'
'No,' says Euijoo through his teeth, frustrated and humiliated and mostly a little starved. 'There’s no one. Not since—' And then he swallows his own tongue.
Those strange, wonderful, inseparably close teenage years; the freedom in inevitably drifting apart; and the ache of the aftermath.

“Yeah, why not,” Nicholas says with a laugh of his own, slumping back into his seat with crossed arms, a satisfied cat. “I wear a couple dresses and skirts and whatnot; you tell your uncle your girlfriend can’t speak Korean and then, boom. You and I get to live it up on the beach… Besides, I know how much you miss it there.”
He clears his throat, but his voice cracks anyway when he adds, “What kind of best friend would I be if I didn’t do this for you?”

Summary
Because, when it comes to Nicholas, everything always comes back to Euijoo. It would make sense that his Twitter account is no different.
or: Nicholas runs a lovesick, anonymous Twitter account where he dumps all of his feelings for his best friend in the form of poetic tweets. When the account goes viral overnight, Nicholas has to deal with thousands of people trying to figure out who he is, while also trying not to fall even harder for someone he can never have. It is not a problem. It won’t be a problem, because Euijoo will never find the account. Right?

Summary
Euijoo peels the wax off with his thumb nail, flicking the envelope open and tossing it onto the kitchen table with the rest of his junk mail. The contents are just as fancy as the envelope itself. Thick cardstock and handwritten calligraphy with sharp ink. Taunting him.
The honor of your company is requested at the marriage of Koga Yudai and Murata Fuma.
(OR: Euijoo asks his childhood crush to pretend to be his new boyfriend at his ex-boyfriend’s wedding. Nicholas says yes.)

Summary
“Promise me you won’t do it again?”
Jisung averted his eyes. He was even more beautiful up close. His eyelashes throwing featherlight shadows across his cheeks, skin looking impossibly soft and hot to the touch.
“I promise, I won’t.”
Minho smirked at him.
“So you admit you were avoiding me before?”
The way Jisung’s eyes widened in shock was only rivalled in seductive beauty by the pretty pout that fell over his face right after. Minho couldn’t hold back the peal of laughter.
“I’m just teasing, Jisungie.”
Jisung turned his head away from Minho, shyly, almost coyly. Like a woman being courted, Minho realised suddenly. His gut twisted with red-hot arousal at the realisation. Jisung was flirting with him.
OR
After getting his degree, with nowhere else in the world to go, Lee Minho moves into a house on his uncle's-his only living relative's-estate in the sleepy town of Wycombe. With no plans to stay or make himself at home, he meets Han Jisung, eldest son of the Han family, and risks even a pretend courtship with his sister to get closer to him.

Summary
morte del cigno /ˈmɔrte ˈdel ˈʧiɲɲo/
Italian, means death of the swan (literal); hydroblading • i.e., a move in which a skater glides on a deep edge with the body stretched in a very low position, almost horizontal to the ice.════ ₊˚｡⋆❆⋆｡˚₊ ════
“Han Jisung is performing, but it seems like, without his nemesis, he has lost his spark. He’s no longer light on his feet, he’s weighted down by the loss of his lifelong rival and companion. Partner, some could say.”
Minho and Jisung are each other’s nemesis in the ice rinks, battling with jumps, spins and complicated footwork. Every season, either one of them is on the top of the podium and the other is never far behind, turning every competition into a whole debate on who will win, every ice floor in a gracious and ethereal battlefield.
That is, until shocking news come at the beginning of the season, in the Olympic year, where they were settled to finally resolve their rivalry once and for all: Minho, in spite of everything, retires from competitive figure skating. So, Jisung has to deal with his absence, and the feelings and memories that come with it.- Language:

Summary
"So..." Minho hums, back to his usual nonchalant self despite witnessing Jisung's insane mutant freak acrobatics. "Who are you?"
Shit. Jisung's brain stalls. He needs a name. Something cool. Something heroic. Something a really smart and creative superhero movie director would come up with. Something catchy but not cringe-
"Spider-Man."
FUCK.
Minho raises an eyebrow. "Spider-Man?"
There's absolutely no way to run this back.
"Yep,” Jisung says, voice muffled through the make-shift mask. "Friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. Tell your friends."
And then he bolts before Minho can interrogate him further. God. He's such a fucking dumbass.
